Series 6. Asadour Santourian's Files

These boxes are from the tenure of Artistic Administrator Asadour Santourian and contain files mainly relating to concerts and special events. In the early 1990s the Orchestra created a series of programs called “Experiences.” Each season there were four, week-long series of talks, exhibits, chamber music, etc. relating to a particular composer, instrument, or country. These activities are well documented in this group of materials.
